TMD refers to inflammation or malalignment of the joints (TMJ) connecting your jaw to your cheekbone. Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are the “hinges” on either side of your face that connect your jaw to your cheek bones. These joints are unique in their hinging and sliding mobility, allowing your jaw to open, shift left and right, and move forward and backward.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may have TMD:
Our orthodontists will assess the severity of your case and design a customized treatment plan that will be the best match to help provide TMD jaw pain relief and improve your quality of life.
Once your custom oral appliance has been refined and fitted to the exact settings that work for you, you’ll experience relief from jaw pain and even relief from other facial pain, headaches, and more.
We are excited to help you achieve relief from jaw pain and obtain the quality of life you deserve!
We’re committed to finding suitable non-surgical options that work long-term and optimize your jaw joint health. More conservative, non-surgical options have been developed to reduce the pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), alleviate jaw pain, and promote healthy activity. Surgery is often the last line of defense and is rarely needed for TMD.
While TMD is more common among patients in their 20s to 40s, children can develop TMD. Making sure your child regularly goes to biannual dental or orthodontic exams can ensure TMD is diagnosed properly.
